The great thing about January Jones is that she's not afraid to play around with fashion and experiment with new styles. However as experiments may do, sometimes one goes awry. Hence January (and her hair) is the topic for this week's Yay or Nay. 

January Jones has done a bouffant-esque style before (see here), but she's gone a bit overboard with this one. 


We love the...

I love visiting new places, I love experiencing new cultures, and I love to try new foods. Ah, the food. Unfortunately, I hate travelling. I hate the process of it, I hate flying, and I hate driving. Call me the guy from Green Eggs & Ham, it just stresses me out! 

Part of what makes travel so stressful for me is freaking out over what to pack. Clothes, shoes, too much, too little,...

I've been on a bit of a concealer kick lately. I finally found a foundation that I'm in love with (check out my review), but this means I've been on the lookout for the perfect concealer to complement it. If you chicks happen to know of an amazing concealer that I should try, I want you to let me know!

So this week, the Review of the Week is: you guessed it,...

We've all seen, loved and bawled our eyes out over The Notebook. And in case you haven't or need a refresher, or perhaps you just need a bit of Gosling injected into your day, here's a quick clip:

Have you ever wanted to eat a golden apple? Or perhaps a blue orange? Maybe some silver ham? I know I have. I mean, why wouldn't you?

That's the idea behind this German company: The Deli Garage. Their product 'Esslack' is an edible spray paint, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: 


The paint has no taste, it simply coats food in a fun colour. Seriously, who wouldn't...

Every time I go into the drugstore, I say to myself, "okay, you are only buying this one item and that is it, nothing else". Of course, what I'm really saying is, "Alex, you have permission to buy any and everything that catches your eye, whether you need it or not". I'm certain I'm not the only one who enters a drugstore in a complete haze and ends up walking out with a million...

Though it doesn't get nearly enough credit, 'save the date' cards are actually one of the most important parts of the wedding. Well, like after the proposal and the actual wedding, I guess. But seriously, think about it, if you didn't send out save the dates, no one would come to the wedding! Obviously, they're an essential part of making sure your big day is just that...

Remember the other day when I challenged you chicks to shake up your beauty routine with one of the new beauty trends from the spring 2013 runway? 

Well, I'm about to up the ante. This time, we're talking hair. 

For the most part, I tend to only cut or dye my hair when my life has incurred some drastic change. Suddenly I think that it would be an amazing idea if I got bangs or...

Spring has sprung! Well, not quite, but I think I've pretty much had it with wearing my big clunky winter boots. I am putting them deep into my closet, hopefully not to be seen again until next year. 

In their place, I'll be shopping for some adorable spring shoes: I'm talking wedges, strappy sandals and heels. And it's all about the colour. This spring, I'm looking for key...

For spring 2013, I'm putting out a beauty challenge for all you chicks. Here it is: I challenge you to try something new with your beauty regime! 

In beauty, as is the case with most things in life, there's a satisfication and a freeing feeling that comes with injecting something brand new into your routine. You never know what you'll discover when you try something new....
